after hearing of Gotama
Leaving the Samanas
Siddhartha informs the oldest Samana of their departure, but the old man becomes angry. Siddhartha uses his mental powers to subdue the Samana, forcing him to bless their journey. Govinda is amazed at Siddhartha's ability, but Siddhartha dismisses such feats, saying he does not seek to walk on water. They leave the Samanas and set out to find Gotama.
